People Inc. Receives Donation From Miller Marquart

From a Statement by People Inc:

Local company Miller Marquart Lumber marked its one year anniversary with a grand re-opening and generous donation to the People Inc. Foundation. After 50 years in operation, the former R.A. Miller Lumber in North Tonawanda was purchased and reopened in May 2010 by Thomas Marquart and Thomas Trathen, bringing back many of the original employees. Familiar with People Inc.’s mission from a long-time employee with a son served by the agency, owners included an auction and raffle in the celebration, as well as making a company gift. “We know People Inc. does important work and it means a lot to our team members. Miller Marquart was happy to help support your mission this way” said Trathen.
